Who knew my local Craigslist was such a treasure-trove...

Of interesting, 'legit', Jalop, and sometimes downright WEIRD coupes? I originally started searching for 90's sports coupes but I just kept running into so much stuff worthy of posting that I decided to just make a separate post instead of limiting myself to the 90's. The only major theme here is two-doors and being worthy of the attention of fellow Jalops.

I'm legitimately flabbergasted. I'm also wishing I had the money to actually buy a lot of these. Also, sorry about the formatting, but apparently Kinja doesn't like text and pictures to be above one another.

It's a long list, but...here goes:

RHD Silvia? JDM as fuck, yo. Proper stance and camber? Too functional to be JDM as fuck, yo!

Quite honestly the cleanest Subaru SVX I've ever seen. Then again, 'seen' is the operative word here...

TAKUMIIIIII! Where'd you get those velocity stacks!?

When a Supra and an AE86 both roofie the other's drink.

The euro wipers help hide the jaundice.

'Toxic orange' paint. Just in case the cops can't hear the swapped S52 from a 1997 M3.

Adam West called. He knows you took his car. He also knows what the fox says.

Because parallel parking is HARD, guys. The extra 2WS helps.

Silver-topped on the outside, black-top on the inside.

Literally a 'mini-Stingray', as you can see in the pic. I think it might have headers...

And the award for "'DAFUQ!?' of the Year" goes to...

Karmann-Karmann-Karmann-Karmann Karmann Chameeeleeeoonnn!

I bought a red convertible sports car to impress my date. Then she told me she has arachnophobia...

It's not a 'clown shoe'!! It's more like a...clown...flip-flop...

They said I was overcompensating. Then I sneezed. Now they're all whining about how they're on fire. Meh.

Hey guys! Remember that scene from the first Fast and Furious movie with the trucks? Well watch this!

"What's that buzzing sound? It's getting louder..." *knock knock* "Huh? Who's there?" "Death."

This twin-turbo is calling your name. Will you call back? You better. Because TEXT MESSAGES WILL NOT BE ANSWERED!

12 Cylinder Blitzes My Wallet at the gas pump.

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death-wish, and the Highway Patrol was following close behind him.

Here in my car, I feel safest of all. Until I look up and see that fucking headliner and wonder why I haven't killed myself yet.

Price is firm. Not because it's a mint-condition '93 RX-7 twin-turbo, but because it took me fucking forever to find a matching pine tree air freshener. Proper accessorizing isn't cheap or easy, dammit.

Why buy this MR2? Because look at it! It looks like Darth Vader traded in his lightsaber for a goddamned katana and traded in his tie fighter for something better suited to his new Bushido lifestyle! (Some assembly required for Samurai-edition Darth Vader. Batteries not included.)

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

EATS MUSTANGS! But only in it's day. At night it's totally vegan.

This little blue bastard is so sharp-looking, I call it my Ghiatine. My kids, however, just call it modern art and pretend they don't know the weirdo driving it.

"But it is ready for the beach...mainly because it's the color of Spongebob's farts."

My girlfriend told me to erase the Zelda design on the hood or she'd leave me. Sometimes I almost actually miss her. But then I remember that losing a girlfriend is really just adding lightness to the car.

Does that first AE86 have a potholder on the Ebrake?

Dope.

The later years of the SVX always seem to be the best kept. 1997 was the last year for the SVX, and it's believed that only 640 were built for the US.

So, an illegally imported, SC-plated Silvia... being sold on Craigslist in Pennsylvania...

Good luck getting that registered.

Being sold on Pennsylvania...? Where did you get that idea?

Also, it's really easy to register RHD cars in S.C.; the importation laws here are insanely lenient.

Coincidence, mostly because I lived about 15 minutes from a Boiling Springs last year.

I lived in Boiling Springs, SC about 2 years ago. It's about 45 minutes from me, lol. It's a fairly common name.

It *could* be legal. Early 89's were produced in mid '88, making them legal under the 25 year rule. At his price it should be, and it better come with proper release paperwork from customs. Otherwise CP.

If it has the paperwork though he's probably spot on, just a very limited market. Google shows an expired posting from a month ago as well.

Personally I like it a lot...

You can register RHD anywhere in the US. No laws against that. It's the federal import laws you have to deal with. South Carolina may register it, but the feds can still take it.

That one *could* be legal though. See my reply to hollanddjw. Also I hate how these conversations aren't real 'threads' and you have to reply to people separately...
